The sons of ex-senator Jones, OF
Florida, have abandoned all hope of
winning over the ex-senator to their
belief rs to the best course for him to
pursue, and have left Detroit. John,
the elder of the two. went back to
Washington, where he holds Gov
ernment position. and Clarence for the
West, his avowed destination being St.
Louis. 1t is probable that the ex-Sen-
ator will be allowed to exercise his own
will as to whether he will reside in
Detroit.

ONE of the earliest subjects pressed

One of the earliest subjects pressed
upon Congress will be that of interna-
tional copyright. The Authors League
has a petition ready, with the sigma
lures of nearly every American author
of distinction-four hundred and thir-
fy-two autographs. which in the origi-
nal document will bring pretty price
rs a collection. Whatever may be its
effect upon Congressional action. it
will certainly remain an official treas
ure in Washington. But the promoters
of the movement hope for success this
time. The memorial so remarkably
signed is very brief, containing only
about two hundred words. setting forth
that the signers, who chiefly earn their
living by authorship, ask that the
United States shall no longer be the
only civilized Nation to refuse copy
right to foreign authors. thus running
tl,c market for native authors, both ut
hume and abroad.

East St. Louis Bond Cases.

BELLEvILLE, ILL.,, Dec. Judge Snyder
rendered a decision yesterday in the East
st. Louis bond cases. Mr.. Gundloch
brought mandamus proceedings to com
pei the levy OF tax to pay bond
for $1,000 issued by the city and held by
him. The case was fought on the ground
that the city by its charter could not levy
tax greater than 10 per cent. Of the as
sessed value OF its property and that the
limit was already reached. Judge Snyder
decided against the city in order that the
case might be appealed. However, ne
thought the city could not be compelled to
levy the tax IN defiance Of its charter.

There Was no uOuu. - sovd reason for
the practice Of the Hebrews to read and to
write from right to left. We have often
speculatei aud inquired about it, and
while we could not learn any thing very
tangible IN regard to it, we are quite con-
WINGED that the most pertinent reason lies
IN the fact that our vision from right to left
Is much clearer and stronger than it is
from left TO right Naturally, so we are
informed, there is no difference in nerves
or in the optic arrangement Of the human
eye between the right or the left eye, yet
our own inquiries and observations show
clearly that we are all. or most all, dis
posed, when we take an article of mer-
chandise or a picture OF any thing else for
examination into our hands, to look at
it from right to left, and not from left
to right. Since we have endeavored to
fathom this question, we can see quite an
advantage to the eye by reading from right
to left. II we read from left to right the
parts read are yet continually before Us;
while, il reading from right to left, the
parts read are then beyond our sight, and
the parts to be read are unobstructed in
view. Now, when we write from left to
right the line we are writing Is rather Of

VAIN IAIAGININGS.

1t is somewhat amusing to listen to
the remarks one hears nowadays, about
this and that railway scheme, how this
man secured the right of way through
the city for the sole purpose of selling
it to somebody; how that company had
in view some other great company
when it obtained the right of way; how
this party was cunningly operating in
the interest of an eastern railway
when it obtained the right to
enter the city. and so on. All
this talk and these very intelligent
surmlses would be interesting If Salt
Lake were Chicago. San Francisco
or New York, and approaches to the
city were valuable and jealousy
guarded. But Salt Lake happens to be
a country town. approachable from all
sides and every direction. Further
more. Salt Lake has never shown a dis
position to discourage the entrance of
railways; nobody here has ever thought
OF building a wall to keep roads out.
Onthe contrary, every road that has
come here, or has started. from here,
has been heartily welcomed, and not an
obstacle has been thrown in its way.
The Utah Central was admitted along
the public streets; so was the Utah & Ne
vada; so was the Utah Southern: SO
also the Denver & Rio Grande; so tie
Salt Lake & Fort Douglas. Each OF
these companies had but to ask for the
right of way. and the request was
promptly and cheerfullY granted. Only
when a road wanted to run through
the very heart of the city, was objection
raised in the City Council or by the
public. We want railroads. and we will
welcome them. We want them to enter
the city, and accommodate the people,
and there is no reason 10 believe it will
be any more difficult to obtain the right
of way now or ten or twenty years
hence, than it was eighteen years ago,
and has been up to the present time.
Therefore, those schemes" those cum
ming peerings into the future, those
deep-lsid plots to obtain valuable
franchises to be disposed Of hereafter,
are all vain imaginings.. There is
boundary line surrounding the city,
thirty miles in extent, and there are
few points where objection would be
raised to the admission of railroad.
1t is for the railway engineer to select
the place, and petition for the right of
way, when the privilege assumed to be
so valuable by the knowing ones, will
be granted. -

ONE WILL BRING THE OTHER

If the Midland can be induced to
come to Salt Lake City via Parley's
Park and Psrley's or Emigration Can
yoD, it will mean a good deal more
than the entrance of that road. 1t
will mean the doing of what should
have been done eighteen years ago.
namely: the bringing here of the Union
Pacific by the route indicated above. 1t
was most expensive and a highly
reprehenslble blunder (which directed
the Union Pacific down the Weber
from Echo, instead OF bringing it across
the Park to Salt Lake. This error,
which has always been understood to
be due to the personal spite or malice
of two or three of the leading men in
the construction of the road, has been
regretted ever since. Some day it will
be cured, and the cure will come earlier
as the result of the approach of another
line along the route which the o.
should have followed. If any other
man than the conservative neyer-do-

preached. and made it a necessity fo1
the Union Pacific to build for SELF
